This is an informal series of study sessions focused on Perl 6 (aka Rakudo), a break from the past of Perl 5 and one of the contenders for language of the future.

Let's get together for a few hours on Sunday afternoons over at the Oakland Museum cafe, and start messing around with Perl 6.

This is a relatively unstructured gathering focusing on chatting and shoulder-surfing, without a lot of planned presentations-- though if you've got something you'd like to show off, by all means bring it with you.

Myself, I'm putting aside the Moritz Lenz book "Perl 6 Fundamentals" for the moment, and paying more attention to his book "Parsing with Perl 6 Regexes and Grammars", but the way these meetings go we tend to talk about whatever comes up.

There's free wifi at the cafe, but you'll probably want to install Perl 6 before hand: https://perl6.org/downloads/

I also like having a saved copy of the documentation (converted into a single giant web page): https://docs.perl6.org/perl6.html
